How to Disable remote login
I can't seem to disable remote login to admin. i.e. using my phone with wifi on I can login to admin via 192.168.1.1 shouldn't i be able to disable this access? Mike
the 192.168.1.1 isn't remote access. Its local access meaning on your network.
Remote access is access external to your network.

Is that accurate? Firmware version?

Define "remote".
What makes you think that your "my phone" is "remote" when you're
"using my phone with wifi"? Or that any "remote" device could
communicate with your router at a private address like "192.168.1.1"?
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Read. Look for "Remote
Management".
Then, using your cellular-telephone data connection rather than a
wireless connection to your own router, try again.
